From her horse-riding history to high fashion horizons
Before her rise to haute couture instafame, Xie enjoyed a successful stint as a competitive equestrian.

She got it from her grandad
In a recent vlog on her YouTube channel, Xie described how she is the only member of her immediate family with such a strong affinity for all things fashion.
She explains how according to her mum, her passion for style and fashion was inherited from her maternal grandfather. He lived and worked in Taiwan as a men’s suit designer and was ostensibly just as fond of fashion, design and shopping as his future fashion-influencer granddaughter.

But first, health
In the same vlog, Xie also dished about her favourite dishes. While allowing some flexibility in her diet, Xie disclosed that she focuses on healthy living and adheres to a predominantly plant-based, gluten-free, teetotal and smoke-free lifestyle.
Xie admits however that the exceptions to her vegan and health-focused dietary regime include certain travel foodie highlights like Parisian croissants and her favourite nigiri sushi from the popular American sushi eatery, Sugarfish.
